About Melissa

Experience: 5 yrs

Hi! I have been a nanny for 5 years and over the years have looked after newborns up to the age of 9 years old. I have fallen in love with newborns and have gain so much knowledge which I would now love to share with new moms to help their journey as new moms that much more enjoyable and filled with precious moments. My skills include introducing baby to bottle feeding if they haven't gotten the hang of it. We spend a lot of time playing on the mat doing tummy time and tons of reading and singing. Once mommy and baby are comfortable I then introduce sleep training and a schedule to keep baby on a routine which makes all the difference in the world and ensures that baby and parents are well rested. Taking care of the baby requires good and effective communication between the parents and myself. So I'm hoping you are open to speaking about development and the color of pops. Haha. Please write me back if you are interested in hearing more about what I offer to the table.

Melissa did a wonderful job taking care of our 1-year old on two sequential evenings while we were out late with family wedding events. She clearly has a natural talent with young children, and our son took to her right away. There were no issues at all. We definitely recommend her to others.
